Dozens of labour lawsuits involving major Peruvian drilling company. We are assisting Petrex—a drilling company in the Peruvian hydrocarbons sector, currently serving the most important oil companies in Peru—in 30 labour lawsuits, of which we highlight the following:
Labour claim addressing allegedly unfair dismissal. We advised the client on a labour lawsuit filed by a former employee, seeking compensation for allegedly unfair dismissal, among other labour benefits. Our advice included the litigation strategy and the representation during the dispute.
Supreme Court’s favourable decision dismissing claim: With the firm’s counsel, no claim was recognised against our client, following a Supreme Court decision on the matter.
Avoiding unfavourable precedent: This matter is relevant because of its economic impact on the client. Not attaining a positive result could have set a negative precedent for other lawsuits the client is facing.
Latest development: The matter became final with a positive ruling for our client.
Labour lawsuit for work-related accident involving permanent disability. We are assisting the client in its defence in a labour lawsuit filed by a former employee seeking payment compensation due to an alleged work-related accident that resulted in a supposed permanent partial disability.
High-value case with reputational risk: This matter is relevant due to its high value and, additionally, as a case involving a labour accident that resulted in a disability, it has a certain reputational risk.
Latest development: With our assistance, the claim was dismissed by the trial court. No payment has so far been recognised in favour of the former employee.
